Profile:

Arthur was the best cricketer of the Gilligan brothers, an aggressive fast bowler, and hard hitting bat. With Tate, he formed a fearsome opening partnership for Sussex and England, bowling genuinely fast, usually on an accurate off-stump line. He made his maiden first-class hundred batting number 11, but a respectable career average of over 20 classifies him as an all-rounder, with 12 first class hundreds in all. He was an exceptional fielder at mid-off, and insisted on good fielding as captain. He led Sussex for 7 years, with much success, and England to a series win over South Africa, and the first win over Australia after the first World War in 1924-25. In 1924 taking 6 for 7, he combined with Tate in dismissing South Africa for the lowest Test score of 30. Shortly afterwards, he was struck over the heart when batting Ð although badly hurt he made a hundred in the second innings after his side followed on. He, on his doctor's advice, gave up fast bowling, although playing for six more years. After retirement he became a successful author, following England on tour and writing several books, and was a popular radio commentator. He was President of Sussex, and later the MCC, and also acted as a selector life (Dave Liverman 1998).
